But perhaps the highlight here is the addition of Blinding Flash Finisher for unarmed combat with Kliff.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For the uninitiated, Blinding Flash Finisher is an essential combat skill that lets you do big damage to stunned enemies while time is slowed down. But, even better, if you hold the button down until Kliff finishes the slow-mo combo, he ends it with a hit that sends a shockwave out in all directions. This is great for clearing groups of weaker enemies, as well as dealing serious damage against foes with more health. Adding it to unarmed combat means those who favor fisticuffs now have access to one of the most powerful combat abilities in the game. So, if you\u2019re playing Kliff like some fantasy version of Batman, your moveset is pretty much complete.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Also of note, this patch fixes an issue where Damiane\u2019s Elegant Carmine Leather Armor appeared abnormally. Earlier this week, social media posts of before and after images of Damiane, the female playable character in Crimson Desert, went viral for showing clothing seemingly changed to cover up previously bare skin. This led to complaints within the community \u2014 and even mild Steam review-bombing \u2014 with some accusing Pearl Abyss of censorship.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Crimson Desert: Every Unique Armor Set So Far<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Here is every armor set we've currently found in Crimson Desert.

Now, the bug is resolved.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Elsewhere, the patch adds additional wolf and bear types that can be registered as mounts, and both Damiane and Oongka (the third playable character) now have access to the Aerial Stab, as Pearl Abyss continues to make non-Kliff characters more viable.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Fans weren\u2019t expecting another major Crimson Desert patch so soon after the last one, but as the developer has explained, it\u2019s working to a more MMO-like update schedule \u2014 informed by its actual MMO, Black Desert \u2014 and it maintains momentum in this single-player open world action adventure. Certainly players are enjoying the speed with which Pearl Abyss is improving the game.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This week, Pearl Abyss revealed just how successful Crimson Desert has been, while also confirming plans to explore DLC. It\u2019s sold 5 million copies since going on sale on March 19, and just in March alone it generated KRW 266.5 billion (approx. $178.8 million) in revenue. Pearl Abyss expects it to make over half a billion dollars by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">What could the DLC involve? Players have gone out of bounds and found various interesting parts of the map with unused content. There&#8217;s also a named area to the east, called Sunbaked Peaks, that players are currently unable to reach. Perhaps a story expansion could open that up.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Crimson Desert update 1.07.00 patch notes:<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>New Additions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Added more bosses that can be challenged again in rematches.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>The rematch locations for each boss are listed below and can also be found in Journal &gt; Knowledge &gt; Memory Fragments &gt; Bosses.
